BBC and Channel 5 series All Creatures Great and Small. This
omnibus edition comprises of Vets Might Fly and Vet in a Spin.
Training as an RAF pilot in the smoke and bustle of London is a far
cry from James Herriot's day job as a country vet in the Yorkshire
Dales. And while he is keen to serve Queen and country, James
cannot help but miss his life in Darrowby - despite frequent
arguments between his colleagues, bad-tempered cattle and equally
irritable farmers, and the continuing saga of Cedric the flatulent
dog. But most of all he misses his wife Helen; pregnant with their
first child. The question is constantly hanging over him - will he
be going to war? And when will he get to go home? Since they were
first published, James Herriot's memoirs have sold millions of
copies and entranced generations of animal lovers. Charming, funny
and touching, All Things Wise and Wonderful is a heart-warming
story of determination, love and companionship from one of
Britain's best-loved authors. 'I grew up reading James Herriot's
books and I'm delighted that thirty years on, they are still every
bit as charming, heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny as they were
then' - Kate Humble

Research of the past ten years has made it increasingly clear that
domestic animals and wild animals differ in their nutritional
requirements. Nutritional management, beneficial to domestic
animals, may actually be life-threatening to wild ones. This new
edition of Wildlife Feeding and Nutrition has been thoroughly

wildlife nutrition essential to successful management either in the
wild or in captivity.
Zoological garden and laboratory personnel, wildlife biologists,
ecologists, animal nutritionists, and veterinarians will benefit
from this new edition.

Proteomics, like other post-genomics tools, has been growing at a
rapid pace and has important applications in numerous fields of
science. While its use in animal and veterinary sciences is still
limited, there have been considerable advances in this field in
recent years, in areas as diverse as physiology, nutrition and food
of animal origin processing. This is mainly as a consequence of a
wider availability and better understanding of proteomics
methodologies by animal and veterinary researchers. This book
provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art account of the status of
farm-animal proteomics research, focusing on the principles behind
proteomics methodologies and its specific applications and offering
clear example.
